ADS Circuit Simulation and Layout
Learn how to create schematics, data display for freq/time domains, tuning, parameterization, introduce distributed components as multilayer/microstrip/striplines, and concept of impedance mismatch, use layout in ADS
About this course
+ Learning Objectives
- ADS Architecture, Creating and Simulating Schematics
- Workspaces, libraries, cells, views
- Component palettes, simulation controllers, data display
- Lab 1: Simulate circuit and display data, create ten-stage LC ladder network using a subcircuit, add losses to the LC transmission line model, simulate a distributed microstrip line.
- Transient Analysis
- Lab 2: Setup transient simulation, compare Dispersive (Non-TEM) to Non-Dispersive (TEM) transmission lines, discontinuities in signal interconnects.
- Connectivity and Layout Basics
- Working with design kits, path/trace routing and editing
- Snap modes, shapes vs components, placement and editing, technology files
- Lab 3: Standard ADS layer definition, basic layout manipulation, creating custom layers, basic routing and editing Interconnects, non-orthogonal Interconnects.
